Chapter 234 The king of variety shows, visiting the class at night
"Mr. Zhou."
"Hello, Mr. Zhou."
In the conference room of Mingjie Company, all the company executives gathered together He stood up, his tone and attitude were respectful and respectful.
Zhou Yutang is not from Modu, but there is a legend about him in Modu Company.
He operates Mingjie Company behind the scenes, which is no secret among the company's senior circles.
"Hello."
Zhou Yutang also smiled and nodded to everyone: "Sit down, let's have a simple meeting today."
Zhang Yibei is him He is also the manager of the variety show department, so he is naturally among this group of senior executives.
Through Zhang Yibei, Zhou Yutang has a good understanding of the operating conditions of Mingjie Company.
After listening to the senior executives of several departments reporting on the operations of each department, Zhou Yutang made a simple summary: "This year's "If You Are the One" reached its second season, with an average ratings of 2.12% and an average viewership share of 6.887%. For this show, Tian and I We have discussed it, and when it is completed this year, we will sell the copyright directly to Suzhou TV Station."
There was a whisper in the conference room.
The leader of the variety show department in charge of the "If You Are the One" project team stood up, looking a little nervous: "Mr. Zhou, although this project has average ratings, it has been highly discussed. It provided a lot for the company last year. The revenue is expected to be at least 30 million this year. Isn’t it a pity to sell it like this?”
If people from the variety show departments of major TV stations heard that the program ratings of 2.12% can only be regarded as average? , I will probably vomit blood due to depression.
But it is what it is.
The ratings of "The Voice" produced by Zhou Yutang have exceeded five, and the show "Running Man" is also heading towards breaking five. These are both national-level variety shows.
Slightly less popular "I Am a Singer" and "The King of Masked Singer" also have average ratings of over three. Occasionally, there are ratings hits, and the highest ratings can even exceed four, with average viewer shares in More than 10%, these are phenomenal popular variety shows.
In comparison.
"If You Are the One" can really only be regarded as an ordinary popular variety show.
“It’s not a pity.”
Zhou Yutang's mouth curved softly and he chuckled: "I noticed the report sent by the variety show department. Zhejiang Province Blue TV has launched a similar dating variety show, and several other TV stations are also doing similar dating shows. "
"There is almost no threshold for making a dating show like this. Once the novelty of "If You Are the One" wears off, the audience will be diverted and the ratings will fall further. "
He tapped his fingers on the table. , Zhou Yutang accurately called the name of the leader of the project team: "Liu Feng, you also know that the company signed a program sharing contract with the TV station that is linked to ratings. By then, the program sharing will be less and less each year. "
"Suzhou TV Station has offered to buy out the copyright of the program. When negotiations are completed this year, the buyout price will not be less than 100 million."
"Mr. Zhou, I don't have it. Problem.”
The project team leader named Liu Feng nodded and sat down.
Very realistic.
The commission received by each project team is related to the income from the variety show in charge.
Since the income from this program will be less and less, the money they can get will also be reduced.
It would be better to buy out the show, give out bonuses in one go, have a big meal, and then put your energy into new variety shows.
"Another planning plan for the company this year is almost complete."
Zhou Yutang stood up and pressed a button, and the projector in the conference room immediately showed the PPT prepared in advance.
""Dad! Where are we going?""
All the company's senior executives looked at the screen intently, and excitedly communicated with their colleagues in low voices:
"Celebrity fathers and their children survived for three days and two nights in several different remote villages or in relatively harsh outdoor environments. While experiencing strange environments, they completed tasks. Mr. Zhou deserves to be the king of variety shows. This plan, It feels very interesting.”
"With surveillance on site, there are at least more than 40 camera positions. Each celebrity father and son are equipped with two screenwriters and cameramen." , It’s really no worse than "Running Man". "I'll go, Mr. Zhou is going to do something big again!"
Everyone in the conference room was surprised and happy. , Zhou Yutang glanced lightly, taking in everyone's expressions, and a slight arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Liu Feng, when this project is launched, a lot of people will be needed. After "If You Are the One" is over, do you have any problem bringing people from your group into this group for planning?"
"No, there's no problem."
Liu Feng stood up in a hurry and looked at Zhou Yutang gratefully.
Why don’t you catch the fragrant and sweet pie falling from the sky?
The other team leaders of the variety show project department looked at him with envy.
This is an outdoor variety show planned by Zhou Yutang himself.
Just look at "Running Man" and you will know that there are definitely endless ways to make money.
The company made a lot of money, and the entire program team also received commission bonuses.
I came to the company for a meeting mainly to explain the variety show "Where Are We Going, Dad".
This program was negotiated between Zhou Yutang and Ouyang Yangdao long ago. They followed the old rules and signed a production fee + program ratings dividend contract.
It’s just that this outdoor parent-child variety show uses a lot of people. It is planned and controlled by Mingjie Company, and people from Mango Channel will also participate in it to provide assistance.
The meeting is over.
Zhou Yutang was in Tian Ming's office and called the manager of the music department over.
Tuk tuk tuk!
"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Tian."
The person who came in was a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties wearing a professional suit, with short hair and a rather capable temperament.
This woman named Tian Wei is a high-level talent that Tian Ming spent a lot of money to recruit. She has been working in music for more than 20 years. She has rich experience and strong ability.
“Manager Tian, will Deng Ziqi’s first nationwide concert tour start this month?”
“Yes, Mr. Zhou, it will start from Beijing Station and then to Magic City, Nanjing, and Chengdu. , Huacheng. There will be a total of fourteen stops, and the last stop will be held at the Hong Kong Coliseum."
"I'll be a guest at the Beijing station."
Zhou Yutang laughed.
I had promised Deng Ziqi earlier, and now I am doing a lot of movie promotion.
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements."
Tian Wei smiled and nodded: "If Zi Qi knows this news, she will be very happy. She has always regarded you as her idol."
Then, we sat and chatted for a while about the development of the company's music department.
With the exception of Deng Ziqi, who is at the top of her game this year, the other singers from "The Voice" are all doing well.
After hearing Tian Wei talk about another concert plan in the company, Zhou Yutang was a little curious: "Manager Tian, Xu Song also held a concert?"
"Look at you as the boss."
Tian Ming on the side crossed his legs and shook his head: "Xu Song is very popular on the Internet."
"And Xu Liang."
Manager Tian Wei He laughed: "The popularity is also very good, but my singing skills need to be practiced harder."
After Xu Song and Xu Liang participated in The Voice, they both received mentors to turn them around. However, although they were talented at the time, their singing skills were not outstanding, and they naturally failed in the subsequent sessions.
It is also because these two people have excellent creative abilities that Zhou Yutang mentioned at the time that the company signed them in advance.
Zhou Yutang has met both of them.
In my impression, Xu Song and Xu Liang are both about 1.8 meters tall, and both are handsome young men. They are only one year apart in age, and they both graduated from a university with a bachelor's degree.
Xu Liang released two singles this year, "Red Makeup" and "Obsessed", which became popular on the Internet. They are inseparable from Xu Song in the QQ music rankings.
Joked by fans as the two giants of QQ Music.
Xu Song is also very powerful.
Although he, like Xu Liang, failed to stand at the end of "The Voice", he began to stand out last year. With the help of the company, he released his first solo album. "Custom", several songs are very popular, and it has gloriously become a nail on the QQ music rankings.
The company also invested a lot of publicity resources. Xu Song’s first album sold well. The company immediately launched a follow-up publicity plan. This year Xu Song launched his second album. album "Looking for Fog Enlightenment".
Although he is not as popular as Deng Ziqi, who has attracted countless fans with his amazing singing skills and has been in the limelight for a while, he can still be regarded as an extremely emerging young male singer in the Chinese music scene. In particular, his creative ability has triggered a heated discussion among fans.
Songs such as "Funeral of Roses", "Gray Head", "Sigh", etc. are all rare and high-quality songs, and many people have listened to them countless times.
Beyond that.
Jin Zhiwen, Liang Bo, Jike Junyi, Wu Mochou and others are also developing well.
With Zhou Yutang’s participation, it highlights the emphasis on music and good voice, and eliminates many embarrassing links, making the whole program more pure.
Many singers who were originally at the bottom had no chance of promotion and no hope at all. They have truly changed their lives through "The Voice", a national-level music variety show.
Not to mention becoming a first- or second-tier star, at least you can live a nourishing life.
Contestants from "The Voice", even slightly famous singers, can receive commercial performance notices, and the appearance fee is at least tens of thousands.
“This year’s auditions are still open to cross-strait and three places, and there are many good talents.”
“Brother Ming, I read the internal evaluation report of the players, and it seems that there is no evaluation of potential. A newcomer to the S class.”
"Nonsense, do you think Deng Ziqi is just a cabbage on the roadside that you can pick up casually?"
"."
Tian Wei laughed at what Tian Ming said.
However, she admired Zhou Yutang's eyes. It was Zhou Yutang who personally negotiated Deng Ziqi's contract.
A female singer who is at the peak of her career and who is about to become a queen in her next stop can be expected to create huge benefits for the company.
Zhou Yutang glanced at the internal player evaluation report, suddenly thought of something, and put down his crossed legs: "Brother Ming, there is no one like the little princess of the Ye family this year, right?"
"Haha."
Tian Ming was also happy: "Don't worry, there won't be that powerful this year, but there are a lot of small fortunes from rich families, and there are still people who want to spend eight figures to buy a champion."
"So direct ?”
Zhou Yutang was a little surprised.
"It's so direct."
Tian Ming took a piece of information and handed it to Zhou Yutang: "Look, my family runs a company with a scale of about one billion, and found the "Good Voice" project team The team leader offered 10 million, saying that it was still negotiable, and he wanted to promote his own child to the top."
Zhou Yutang shook his head and said with emotion. I’m really willing to spend money.”
This also shows the influence of “The Voice”. Otherwise, who would spend so much money to buy a champion?
"Parents who love their children have far-reaching plans, as the old saying goes."
"Brother Ming, as the saying goes, we still have to do a good job here to ensure the fairness of the program. "
"I know this."
Tian Ming nodded slightly: "There are many players who have some connections at home, and parents don't use their brains to buy mentors to turn around. "Ma'am, I'm angry with the program team. The entire program process is transparent and fair."
"The Voice" is a popular variety show around the world, so he naturally looks down on this small gain.
But China is a humane society after all. If there are players with a background like Princess Ye's, they will definitely have to take care of them.
The average ratings of the third season of "The Voice" still remain above 5.25%, with the highest ratings exceeding 6%. It is a well-deserved national-level variety show.
After talking about business matters, Tian Ming talked about personal matters: "By the way, Yu Tang, my old man always wants you to come to my house for a casual meal. Do you want to come over in the evening?"
" Not at night.”
“What are your plans?”
"Shi Shi is filming in Hengdian, and I'm going to visit the class."
"It's great to be young when I go to visit the class at night."
Tian Ming was stunned for a moment, and looked meaningfully He glanced at Zhou Yutang, then slowly opened the thermos cup and took a sip of wolfberry water.
Peach works as an artist assistant.
Because we work carefully and conscientiously.
Last year, he also won the best agent award internally selected by Tangren Company.
But her intuition told her that something was wrong with Liu Shishi today.
During the day, when Director Li was telling a story in a meeting, Liu Shishi’s eyes were vacant and he was obviously distracted.
Occasionally, I giggle again.
Even the actors from the crew didn't respond to greet her.
"Shi Shi's menstrual period is still some time away, and I haven't had anything to worry about recently."
After careful observation, analysis and summary, Taozi quickly came to the most likely conclusion:
It must be A hot man is coming.
As expected, she asked in the past and got a positive answer. Taozi was a little dumbfounded: "Shi Shi, didn't you say that he has a movie to be released and is busy promoting it?"
"I happened to be in the Magic City. I’m on a variety show and stopped by to visit the class.”
"The filming won't start until tomorrow. Why are we visiting so late at night?"
"He is an investor. He must come to see the actors."
The smile on Liu Shishi's face became brighter and brighter. My heart is as sweet as molten honey, and my eyes are as clear as the crescent moon.
Zhou Yutang has invested in many projects, and he has never visited other crews late at night.
And I just arrived in Magic City today. I had a meeting at the company and came here to find myself.
night.
Nine thirty-seven.
The door of hotel room 407 opened in response.
Zhou Yutang flashed in, having just taken off his hat, mask, and sunglasses.
Liu Shishi jumped into the familiar arms with great enthusiasm, and his legs that had practiced dancing were dexterously crossed and hung tightly on his waist.
Haven't spoken yet.
First there was a long and affectionate kiss.
